A Seat for the Joyces

At a pre-Bloomsday ceremony at St. Stephen's Green in 1977, the playwright Denis Johnston (right) dedicates a park bench to the memory of James Joyce and his father, John Stanislaus Joyce. At left is Madame Maria Jolas, widow of Eugene Jolas and a longtime friend of the author. In the center is David Norris, chairman of the 6th International James Joyce Symposium Committee.
